Buhari Observes Jummat Service

Nigeria's president has emerged to attend Friday
prayers after missing a number of public engagements because of poor
health.

President Muhammadu Buhari disappeared
for six weeks of medical leave in London earlier this year, leading
some to call for his replacement. The 74-year-old returned to work in
March but has missed three straight weekly cabinet meetings.

The
uncertainty over his health has raised fears of instability in Africa's
most populous nation and one of its top oil producers.

Nigeria's government tweeted images of Buhari's appearance Friday as officials seek to calm the concerns.

Buhari's
ailment is not publicly known, but he has made reference to blood
transfusions and said he had not been so sick in decades.
